Last Chance Rescue Last Chance Rescue is a no-kill, cage-less animal rescue in Northwest Indiana. If you are interested in meeting one of our pets, we will bring them to you!

We do not have a facility that is open to the public. Our goal is to match our loving animals with equally loving and responsible adopters. We also help those considered "not adoptable" by socializing, rehabilitating and regaining the trust of pets who have been abused or injured. We believe every animal deserves a chance—healthy pets should not be euthanized simply because they are older or have

physical or behavioral issues. Last Chance is committed to reducing pet overpopulation and educating the public about the importance of spaying and neutering. We also promote the prevention of cruelty to animals. All of our animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped. Dogs are heart worm-tested and take heartworm preventative. Our cats are tested for feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Descriptions and photos of our adoptable pets are on Petfinder here: https://www.petfinder.com/member/us/in/schererville/last-chance-rescue-inc-in325/

Adoption applications can be completed and submitted here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeGV0TsBJJn6tVU1NWl6b1WoS2cAIZAIFUL1F1UtczE6x2jJg/viewform?usp=sf_link

Our wish list:
Dog & cat food (no dyes, please)
Dog runs and kennels
Clean and gently used blankets and comforters, sheets, cushions, pillows
New carpet remnants
Cat trees or perches in good condition
Dog houses in good condition
Loveseats, benches, coffee, and end tables
Pet food dishes
Dish soap, laundry detergent, bleach
Paper towels

Want to adopt or foster one of our animals? Please call the rescue director, Cherie Bishop, at 219-677-2961.

Hey friends, we wanted to share an update on Princess.

Princess is a beautiful nine-year-old German Shepherd who needs a foster or adoption, as we have no space for her at our facility.

She is about 90 pounds and is now current on all her vaccines and has been fully vetted!

We are hoping one of you who might be a German Shepherd lover, or simply anyone who is looking for a loving companion, can help sweet Princess.

Sadly, her humans are in the middle of a divorce and Princess's human mom is overwhelmed caring for five children and Princess. So, poor Princess is living in the garage and the laundry room, as the former male head of household didn't want her in the house.

Despite this beautiful girl not being able to live in the house with her family, Princess has proven that she is a sweetheart, because we know she is good with children, and she loves fetching balls, and enjoys belly rubs and going for walks.

Although she is great with kids, Princess would need to be the only pet in the home.

Princess really deserves to be treated like the princess she is. Can you help us make sure that happens?

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in either fostering or adopting Princess, please text or call (leave message with phone number) Cherie at 219-677-2961. Unfortunately, our application process is not currently working.

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST so Princess can soon get a foster or adoptive home so she can start living the good life!

Friends, we have an urgent need.

Princess really deserves to be treated like the princess she is. Can you help us make sure that happens?

This is Princess, a beautiful nine-year-old German Shepherd who needs a new home. Because we have no space for her currently at our facility, we desperately need a foster or potential adopter for her.

We are hoping one of you who might be a German Shepherd lover, or simply anyone who is looking for a loving companion, can help sweet Princess.

Sadly, her humans are in the middle of a divorce and Princess's human mom is overwhelmed caring for five children and Princess. So, poor Princess is living in the garage and the laundry room, as the former male head of household didn't want her in the house.

Despite this beautiful girl not being able to live in the house with her family, Princess has proven that she is a sweetheart, because we know she is good with children, and she loves fetching balls, and enjoys belly rubs and going for walks.

She is 93 pounds and current on her rabies vaccine, but she does need some other vetting done, which we will have our vet take care of as soon as possible.

Although she is great with kids, Princess would need to be the only pet in the home.

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in either fostering or adopting Princess, please text or call (leave message with phone number) Cherie at 219-677-2961. Unfortunately, our application process is not currently working.

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST because we need to find Princess a foster or adoptive home ASAP so she can start living the good life!

Steel is a male lab mix, neutered, two years old, 40 pounds. Steel is housebroken, knows some commands and is great with people, kids, and other pets. His current owner’s job has changed requiring much out of town travel. There is no one to care for Steel, so the difficult decision has been made to rehome him. If you are interested, please email his family at [email protected].

Kreed is a male Shepherd/Husky mix, one year old, 50 pounds. He is neutered and current on vaccines.

Kreed is very playful and high energy. His current owner’s child has severe asthma and allergies and has been hospitalized recently. Tests were done and unfortunately, Kreed is causing the allergies.

Kreed has been in doggy daycare and was fine with other dogs. He is also housebroken and knows a few commands. If you are interested in Kreed, please call his current family at 773-440-3282.

UPDATE:ADOPTED!
*******************
Such a sad story! Jack’s human mom became homeless and was living in her car with Jack. Since the weather was turning hot, she was concerned for his safety, so he came to us.

Jack is super affectionate, loves everyone and is very playful. He would love a home with a feline “brother “ about the same age to play and cuddle with.

Jack was born March, 2024.

We do not have a public facility, but will bring the animal you are interested in to you. If you are interested in Jack, please complete an adoption application on our website, www.lcrescue.org.

ADOPTED 9/9/24!
********************************************
A single mom bought Oliver for her young daughter, who had always wanted a Chihuahua. Unfortunately, they already had a young, energetic Boxer, who thought Oliver was a toy. Worried for his safety, they made the tough decision to give him up.

Oliver is adorable, loves to be held and cuddled, but also needs an equally small breed male puppy “brother” to play with.

Oliver is Yorkie and Chihuahua. He was born 5-7-24, and as of August 14, he weighed about 4.5 pounds.

We do not have a public facility, but will bring the animal you are interested in to you. If you are interested in Jack, please complete an adoption application on our website, www.lcrescue.org.

We are still looking for homes for these babies, born last August.

Meet Einstein, Juno, Nikoli, and Tootsie Pop. (Each of their names and genders are posted on their photos.)

Mom was a rat terrier and dad is likely a lab mix.

These youngsters are very smart and good-natured. Each of them would shine with a partner who will take the time to teach and train them or take them to training classes.

They'll need homes who will welcome puppy energy! They get along well with other small dogs and love to play. We would highly recommend adopting two of them together, as they already get along and play well with each other. We will offer a discount for adopters who would like to adopt two of these cuties!

Let's get these youngsters some loving homes! Please share this post!

If you are interested, please complete an adoption application at www.lcrescue.org.

Please do not call or email as we will not be able to return your call or email. Thank you!

UPDATE: ADOPTED!

********************************************************
Princess Peach, a beautiful purebred standard Goldendoodle, is sweet and affectionate. She is so excited to be with people, that sometimes she forgets her manners and likes to jump up. This is certainly something that can be corrected with consistent love and training.

She is a high-energy girl and still has a lot of puppy in her. A large, fenced yard is a must so she can work off that energy! She would love to have someone to play with, so we suggest a similar breed - another dog about the same size. She's best in a home without small children.

Princess Peach is was born July 12, 2022. She's about 50 pounds and is housetrained! She is spayed and current on vaccinations.

Sadly, Princess Peach has been in two homes in her less than two years. Her first mom had to move out of state to care for a relative. Her second mom's work schedule changed to working very long hours each day, which was not fair to Princess Peach.

If you're interested in meeting Princess Peach, please complete our adoption application at www.lcrescue.org

Pepper is a loyal, loving, affectionate dog who is very free with his hugs and kisses!

Pepper is very smart and energetic. Pepper may be shy when meeting new people, but warms up fast and is very loving.

Pepper burns off steam with his favorite activity - playing fetch! A fenced yard and walking on leash always is required.

Pepper would do best as an only pet, as he is a resource guarder with food. This is something that can be improved with training.

Pepper's original dad had to take a new job which requires him to be traveling out of town most of the time, so there was no one to care for Pepper.

Pepper is a male Catahoula mix, born 2019, about 45 pounds, and housetrained.

PUPDATE 6/10/24: FOSTER HOME FOUND! THANK YOU ALL!

*********************************************************
Friends, we are asking urgently for a temporary
foster home for beautiful Karma, a female pit bull, 9 years old, about 35-40 pounds.

Her person has come upon some unforeseen circumstances and is unable to care for her right now. We're uncertain whether or not he'll be able to continue to be her person in the future, but for now, we are seeking a temporary foster home.

Last Chance will pay for all food and care while Karma is in a foster home.

Karma is a sweetheart, with no aggression issues. She loves people, and has been fine with other dogs and kids.

If you are interested in fostering her, please complete our adoption application on our website, at www.lcrescue.org.

Thank you all! Please SHARE this post if you can.

PUPDATE 6/10/24: ADOPTED!

**********************************************************
Mink is a male Pomeranian mix. He is adorable and he knows it. He is very affectionate once he gets to know you and a total lap dog - and he likes squeaky toys!

Mink gets along with other small and medium sized dogs, but would not mind being an only dog so he can have all of your attention and love.

Mink was surrendered by his owners because he refused to accept the new baby in the home, so he needs a home without toddlers or small children.

Mink is about 10 pounds, was born in 2015, and is housetrained.
If you are interested, please complete an adoption application at www.lcrescue.org.

Please do not call or email as we will not be able to return your call or email. Thank you!

We wanted to let our friends and supporters know that our rescue founder Cherie was involved in an accident at home and unfortunately sustained a broken arm and two broken ribs.

We do have assistance with the physical care for the rescue's dogs and cats, but until further notice, we will not be taking in any new animals. Cherie needs a chance to rest and heal.

Your prayers for Cherie's speedy recovery are welcomed. If you'd like to send a donation for the animals to help us get through this difficult time, thank you! Last Chance Rescue, PO Box 398, Schererville, IN 46375.

Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support.

Mink is back safe and sound. A huge thank you to the Leto family for letting him into their home and caring for him until we could retrieve him, and to everyone who prayed for his safe return and kept on the lookout or watched for and/or advised us of posts. Thank you all!

UPDATE 10.29.23: MINK HAS BEEN FOUND! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

****************************

Friends in the Schererville area, we need help. One of our rescue dogs, Mink, bolted out the gate late yesterday afternoon. Of course, he got scared and kept running. We tried for an hour and a half until it got dark and we lost him. He was last seen around 85th and Marquette in Schererville.

Mink is wearing a collar with his rabies tag and a Last Chance Rescue tag. He is scared and may try to bite. If someone could get him into a yard or building and call Cherie at 219.677.2961, that would be best.

Mink is maybe only pound and fairly new to the rescue. He's been doing great with the other dogs and us until he got out and became scared.

Hello friends! We will be participating in this wonderful event this Sunday, October 1. Please stop by to see us!

From Cherie:

Dear Facebook friends,

I'm sorry to tell you that we lost our sweet Otto yesterday.

Otto was a beagle, a sweet soul who was apparently dumped in a rural area. When we rescued him at the end of July, the vets guessed his age to be 14. He had badly infected ears, was not neutered, had a small growth on his hind quarters, and had 10 rotten teeth. There were no toes on one of his rear feet, but that was thought to be a birth defect or something that had happened many years before. This sweet little soul was dumped in a rural area.

Our vets neutered Otto, removed the growth, andremoved the rotten teeth. We treated his infected ears until they were normal. Upon recovery, Otto actually pranced like a puppy, he felt so good!

The dog books say that a Beagle's life span is usually to age 14, although they can live to be 17. I was hoping for 17, but that was not meant to be. While I miss Otto terribly, it was such a joy and an honor to have him, even though it was much too short of a time. There is no greater joy in life than knowing you have given an animal the best part of their life, no matter how long or how short. Rest in peace, sweet Otto.
